Behold also in this Bible scene how on that Christmas night God hOnored childhood. Christ might have made his first visit to our world in cloud, as he will descend on his next visit in a cond. In what a chariot Of iliuminod vapor he might have rolled down the sky. escorted by mounted cavalry, with lightning of drawn sword, Elijah had carriage lire to take him up, why not Jesus a carriage of fire to fetch him down2 Or over the arched bridge of rainbow the Lord might have descended. Or Christ might have had his mortality built up eaTth out of the dust of garden, Adam. in full manhood at the start, without the intro ductory fechleIless Of infancy. No, no. Child hood was to be honored by that advent He must have childs light limbs, and child's S dimpled hand, and a chiid's beaming eye, and a child's naNen hair, and oaby hood was to be honored for all time to come, and a cradle was to mean more than grave Mighty God!

Rather say, Ut is only an immortal '' IL is only masterpiece Of Jehovah. It is only being that shall outliVe the sun and moon and stars and ages quadrillennial. God has infinite resources, and he can give presents ol great value. but when he wants to give the richest possible gift Co a household he looks ar und all the worlds and s.i the universe and then gives a child. The greatest present that God ever gave our world he gave about lsSs years ago, and he gave lt on . christmas night, and it was of such Valne that heaven adjourned for a recess and came down and broke through the clouds to look at it. Yea, in all ages God has houored childhood. He makes almost every picture a failure unless there be a child either plas ing on the floor, or looking through the window, or seated on the lap gazing Into the face of its mother.

TmE net surplus in the Treasury
on the 1st of August was S45, $685.
594. Since there is no portion of
the public debt to which the surplus
may be applied, its volume must
rapidly increase before the close of
the current fiscal year unless Con
gress shall make provision for it's
abatement. The legitimate and
practicable means of reducing sur
plus revenues are to be found in
lessening surplus taxation upon raw
materials Of industry and necessar-
les of living.

The difference between tariff re
formers and internal revenue abol-

put as being one between those who
favor free, untaxed sideboard and
those who favor a free, untaxed

duction of the tariff are for free
liquor, and those who propose to
continue the tax OH whiskey are for
giving the people free, untaxed
clothing instead. That's about the
size of it, says the Washington Post.

In speaking of the knights of
Labor and the attitude of the Cath
Ollie church towards secret organiza-
tons, Cardinal Manning is reported
as saying "There is no need of
secrecy where the ends and the
methods of organization are justi-
fable, and secrecy raises a presum-
ton that there is something which
will not bear the light of day." As
applied to political organizations,
this is a correct principle. The
great triumphs of human liberty
have been won in the open field,
rather than in the hiding places of
conspiracy. This truth should be
kept steadily in view in the organi-
cation of the American Home Rule
party.

Bites or Too Much

There is q general feeling all
along the line that Sam Randall
olght to be retained. He~has as
sumed to be the only authority on
revenue questions, and tried to abb
solutely dictate the course and
scope of all bills, relative to reve-
nue.. A New York paper suggests
than an amendment to the Consti-
Triton be adopted so as to provide
that all bills on revenue shall be
null and void unless they originated
with Sam Randall.
He made himself so obnoxious in
Congress, that his constituents are
the sufferers, and they are clamor-
ing for him to come home and stay.
They are just about in the position
of Ormsby county during the last
session. One of it's representatives
undertook to Introduce all the bills
that were introduced, and failing in
that, attempted to handle all the
billsany!one elselntroduced. Baked
in that scheme he then tried
to beat all the bills not introduced
by himself. The result was that
Ormsby county was the sufferer
aud was obliged, through the preju-
dice against the acts of one mau in
the delegation, to have delegates
from other counties introd uce our
bills.
The tendancy of incompetent
men to bite off about ten times as
they canschew, is becoming a great
source on annoyance in public af-
fairs.

action will be taken. Mr.. Geo.

for sinking arteslan wells, and it is

Frank Newlands writing to the

We are now brought face to face
with the. Interstate Commerce Act,
which gives every point on any of
the railroads communicating with
the East nearer to the point from
which shipment is made an advan-
tage over San Francisco, the ex-
treme point. 1t will be readily seen
that the enforcement Of the Inter
State Commerce Act will not tend
to its advantage. The merchant
doing business in any of the small
towns of our State on the line of the
railroad can purchase directly from
the Eastern markets to greater ad-
vantage than In San Francisco.

a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States has decided that there is
NO United States law which guaran-
tees protection to unnaturalized
Chinese. that the Chinese must re-
ly on the laws of the several States
for protection. At the headquar-
tiers of the Chinese legation it was
stated that the Chinese would get
very little protection on this Coast
if they relied on State laws.
This is a misleading and false
statement and made knowingly, for
the purpose of exciting sympathy
for the Chinese. The records of
the Courts of this Coast are full of
convictions of white men who
have interfered with the rights of
the Chinese. Any jury of white
men in this State, will convict a
white man for assault and battery
on a Chiuaman. They have done
SO over and over again. During the
heat of the anti Chinese excitement
In this city last Summer, not a
single Chiraman was interfered
with. They walked the streets un-
molested.
